How important is size to you? And small light (and excellent) lenses? F/1.4 lenses? UWA zoom?

I don't find these rumors far fetched considering Canon just made an EF-M 55-200 "killer". I do consider it a killer too btw considering it's improved optical performance, even though it gave up 1/3 stop.

I would never buy a camera based on loose rumors. "Coming alongside the R50" ? No, It didn't. And not even a "cr" rating on these rumors. My advice is wait, wait, wait and wait before you buy a APS-C R mount camera. It can take a long looong time before it has got something close to the EF-M lens line up. IF ever !

RF-S: Slower lenses. Larger lenses. Fewer lenses. No F/1.4 lenses. No Sigma trio.

The RF-S 55-210mm is slower, heavier and much larger and does not fit nicely in a pocket as the EF-M 55-200 does.

Canon started the RF mount claiming FF dominance

now APSC cameras are showing up as an afterthought.

the R6II and R8 will rule the roost.

I own the R6II. It is a great camera and I am sure the R8 will also be. But they are both large and expensive (and it gets even worse when you include a lens) in comparison to an M camera. They belong to a completely different category. And I think it is rather off topic to start discussing FF cameras in this forum.

except for maybe R7 with long lenses, skip buying anymore APSC

That is also a much too large camera for people who really love the small size of the M cameras and lenses.
